Manual Operation
(Off): Turns the climate
control system off. Outside
air still enters the vehicle and is directed to the floor.
The airflow direction and temperature can be adjusted.
If the temperature is adjusted while the system is off, the display will light to show the current settings.
(Driver Temperature Controls):
Press
these buttons next to the fan control to increase or
decrease the temperature inside the vehicle.
(Passenger Temperature Controls):
Press
these buttons next to the mode control to increase or
decrease the temperature for the front passenger. If the
passenger climate control system is off, pressing one
of these buttons turns it on.
(Fan Control): Turn clockwise or
counterclockwise
to increase or decrease the fan speed. Turning this
control completely counterclockwise turns on the
automatic fan operation.
If the airflow seems low when the fan speed is at the highest setting, the passenger compartment air filter may need to be replaced. For more information, see Passenger Compartment Air Filter and Scheduled Maintenance.
Air Delivery Mode Control: Turn clockwise or counterclockwise to change the direction of the airflow in the vehicle.
To change the current mode, select one of the following:
(Vent): Air is directed to the
instrument panel
outlets.
(Bi-Level): Air is divided between
the instrument
panel outlets and the floor outlets. In automatic
operation, cooler air is directed to the upper outlets and
warmer air to the floor outlets.
(Floor): Air is directed to the
floor outlets, with
some air directed to the windshield and side window
outlets.
If recirculation is selected while in this mode, it stays on for three minutes to reduce windshield fogging.
(Floor/Defog): This mode clears
the windows of fog
or moisture. Air is directed to the floor outlets, with
some air directed to the windshield and side window
outlets. The system turns off recirculation and runs the
air-conditioning compressor unless the outside
temperature is at or below freezing. The recirculation
mode cannot be selected while in the floor/defog mode.
(Defrost): This mode removes fog
or frost from
the windshield more quickly. Air is directed to the
windshield and the side window outlets. The system
automatically turns off recirculation and runs the
air-conditioning compressor, unless the outside
temperature is at or below freezing. Recirculation cannot
be selected while in the defrost mode.
(Air Conditioning): Press to turn
the air conditioning
system on or off and override the automatic system.
An indicator light below the button comes on to show that this mode is on.
The air conditioning system removes moisture from the air, so a small amount of water might drip under the vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine. This is normal.
(Outside Air): Press to let
outside air enter the
vehicle. An indicator light comes on to show this mode
is on. Pressing
cancels this mode.
(Recirculation): Press to turn the
recirculation
mode on. An indicator light below the button comes on
to show that this mode is on. This mode recirculates
and helps to quickly cool the air inside the vehicle. It can
be used to prevent outside air and odors from entering
the vehicle. This mode cannot be selected while in
the defog or defrost modes. If you try to select
the recirculation mode, the indicator light flashes three
times and turns off.
Operation in this mode during periods of high humidity and cool outside temperatures may result in increased window fogging. If window fogging is experienced, select the defrost mode.
PASS (Passenger Climate Control): Press to turn the passenger climate control systems on or off.
When the passenger climate control system is on, the passenger temperature setting is displayed.
If the PASS button is pressed to turn the passenger temperature setting off, the driver temperature setting controls the temperature for the entire vehicle.
